Permanent memory leak, stuttering, freezes etc. making the game unplayable

There are a handful of players who have mentioned this now. If you use the in game bug reporting tool, we can find the issue. It collects data from the server that is very useful for hunting this down. We have more people who post this issue on Reddit or discord than actually use the in game tool. All of the reports outside of the game don't help to fix it because it doesn't have the info we need.

Yea, I would just copy paste the post you replied to.

Edit: and thank you for making an in game report.

It won't be able to grab server logs but if it's the first start up since the crash then it can get client logs if you tick the box. It has logs from your current and last session.

The last successful solution to the stuttering problem that I saw was something very weird. The person replaced the CMOS battery on their motherboard so their system time was able to maintain accuracy. Instantly fixed. It does underscore an issue with the game that we are working to fix also because this shouldn't cause a problem but it might be worth a shot.

It saves logs from your previous play session and will upload those if you tick the box after you restart the game. We have accounted for this.

It's actually not just one issue. That's the problem. We've fixed several sources of this and are seeing a much lower report rate per player on this issue than before. It's inconsistent and not reproducible in the editor. I know it can seem obvious but it's not that simple.

We can pull game logs from your previous session (if you tick the box in the bug reporting form in game). The unity logs are in a different spot and aren't automatically submitted.

We are still working on Steam Deck specific issues and are getting close to officially supporting it. Until then if you'd like to try and make it work anyways, I hear CryoUtilities does a lot of heavy lifting.
